Joanna Kalucka and Christine Parsons each receive a Carlsberg Foundation Young Researcher Fellowship. This means a multi-million kroner grant for studies into the role of the spleen vasculature in the immune system and into the influence of sleep disruption on new parents, respectively.

Backed by a three and half million kroner grant from the Lundbeck Foundation, Professor Marco Capogna from Aarhus University is working with researchers from the United States to learn more about the many different types of nerve cells that make the human brain work. This knowledge may turn out to be important in areas such as the development of medicines against dementia and rehabilitation after a blood clot in the brain.
